S.E. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, OcT. 25. Tee great and crowning achievement that was to carry Mr Lincoln into the Presidential chair amid a blaze of glory was to have been the capture of Richmond. It must be admitted that Gen. Grant tried hard to attain the end ; that the War Depart ment cordially supported and aided him ; that he had all possible supplies and. reinforcements ; that he no sooner sacrificed ten thousand lives in one failure than another ten thousand were placed at his disposal ; that the country saw a full hundred thousand of his magnificent host melt away in the battle field, in the camp, and by desertion, without much complaint, and, in fact, with scarcely a mur mur; and the strategy of the Lieutenant-General , whether it seemed to promise success or to bode failure, was subjected to none but the kindest criti cism on the part of the Government, the press, and the people. After six months of continuous effort, Grant, thus highly supported, encouraged, and favoured, finds himself no nearer the consummation than he was when he crossed the Rapidan early in May, and the friends of the Administration are be ginning to resign themselves to a close of the cam paign, and the postponement of further operations against the Confederate capital until the spring of 1865. But as such an apparent defeat of a great purpose might have a bad effect on the public mind, it has been resolved to strike a heavy blow and snatch a brilliant victory in another direction. Nothing that Gen, Sheridan can do in the Shenan doah Valley will be adequate for the political emer gency which efiliets the Government; and Gan. Sherman is too far away, too isolated, too uncertain, and in too critical a condition, to allow much room for the hope that any success he may achieve will b e great or opportune enou gh to gain v otes for Mr Lincoln on the Bth November. A new scheme has therefore been devised. Gen. Grant has been to Washington to give his opinion upon it. Mr. Stanton has been to the camp of the Army of the Potomac, accompanied by Mr Fessanden, to hear further details, the one to calculate the cost in men, and the other the cost in money ; and, last of all, Admiral Porter has had several long private inter views with the Lieutenant-General in his tent. Tne scheme is no other than a combined attack of the land and naval forces upon the city of Wilmington. The fact has not yet found its way to the newspa pers, but has for some days past been the subject of conversation in the upper circles of politics and finance in this city and Washington. The sudden attack of Gen. Early upon the Federal forces under Sheridan on the morning of the 19th, an attack which at one time was within a hairsbreadth of being the greatest disaster the North has sustained since the first battle of Bull Run s caused a tem porary postponement of operations, and General Ricketts and his division, who were under orders to proceed to North Carolina, were transferred to the Shenandoah, and took part in the battle of Cedar Run, where the General received a wound which is likely to prove fatal. There being considered no further danger on the Shenandeah, or adequate measures having been taken to strengthen General Sheridan against the possibility of a renewed attack by General Longstreet, who is known to have assumed command in the Valley, the expedition against Wilmington has been resumed, and was to have started between the 20th and 24th inst., un der the command of Admiral Porter. The invading fleet is reported to consist of upwards of 40 vessels, inclusive of either eight or ten ironclads ; and the co-operating land force will number about 40,000 men. The Admiral's orders are "togo in and win," and the friends of the Administration aro confident that he will do so, though he should sa crifice a third or oneahalf of his fleet in the attempt. Iu short, they believe that the capture of Wilminge ton will be the biggest thing of the war, and throw all former Federal victories into the shade by its dash and completeness. Letters from naval and military officers to their friends and relatives in this city tell them to expect to hear stirring news within ten days from the 20th inst., or about the Ist of November, and add that the Admiral evi dently anticipates hot and hard work, inasmuch as his surgical and hospital appliances are of a magni tude such as have not been customary in previous battles. Little seems to be known of the land or sea defences of Wilmington, bat there aro North Caro linians and others in this city who assert that the Federal Government is "counting its chickens before they are hatched," in expecting an easy or any victory; that Wilmington will be found as difficult to take as Mobile and Charleston —that the Confederate Government has long known that such an attack as that now threatened would sooner or !ater be made—and has spared neither time, nor skill, nor expense, to construct such defences, in addition to those with which it is favoured by nature, as to make it impregnable. Such is the immediate military situation, present and prospective. It must be added, however, in reference to the election, that Mr Lincoln is doing his utmost in the few days remaining before the Bth of November to diminish the opportunity which the control of the army and the use of the national purse have given him of perpetuating his power. While Generals Grant, Sheridan, and Sherman, to say nothing of Admiral Porter, are busily working in his behalf, and striving to win the victories that shall secure him the votes of hundreds of thou sands of waverers, who consider him a military as well as political failure, he on his own part is doing his best, though unintentionally, to nullify these advantages, and to prove to such Americans as still respect the law and the constitution that he is unscrupulous enough to attempt to win unfairly if fair play will not answer. It was evident, from his undignified reply to the Ten. nesseean deputation on the 15th inst., that he some times forgets, in his vehement desire to be President from 1865 to 1869, that he is President in 1864, and that his duties as actual chief magistrate may conflict with his interests as candidate for a second term of office. Whenever such conflict does occur, it looks as if he would be not only ready but eager to give his interest the precedence, if not to sacrifice his duty altogether. The T enness eeans waited upon him, not because he was Abraham Lincoln, one of the two candidates of the Presidency, but because he was Abraham Lincoln, legally elected to and in possession of that high office. Their object was to remonstrate against the act of one of his subordinates —a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, who sloes' d his position as military Governor of their Sate to impose a test oath, the effect of which would be to deter from voting, or to disallow, if tendered, the vote of every inhabitant who would not swear that he had " loyally" supported the existing adminis tration in all acts and proclamations ; that he had never given aid or comfort to a rebel, though that rebel might have been his own father,son, or brother wounded in battle and returning home to die; and who would not pledge himself to oppose either peace or an armistice with the South, until " peace" and " armistice" became words of no account by the total suppression of the rebellion. The people of Tennessee, as well as the people of New York or any other State, have the undoubted right to con sider the imposition of such an oath a gross outrage, and it is possible, if the Constitution of the United States expressly prohibited the re-election of a President, that Mr, Lincoln might have taken as unfavourable a view of Mr. Andrew Johnson's proceedings as that held by the deputation. But Mr. Lincoln, the candidate, could not rise to the height of a sound argument. Forgetting that he was the President, he told the deputation that as Gen M'Clellan's friends were conducting the eke- Con in their way, he (Mr Lincoln) would conduct it in his way; and the deputation retired to tell their story to the world, and addlone more to the mass of daily accumulatingtepr_oefseethat_ American liberty only exists upon military sufferance, if it did not wholly expire with the Presidential term of Mr Buchanan. It is not charged by anybody that Gen. M'Clellan's friends are acting illegally, unconstitu tionally, or even unfairly in their way of opposing Mr Lincoln ; but Mr Lincoln admitted in the few words which so startled the deputation that his way was Governor Johnson's way, illegal and unconsti tutional as it might be, and unfair as it certainly was. As the publication of the documents and Mr Lincoln's emphatic and uncourteous commentary was doing him harm, he took a week to reconsider the matter, and has accordingly written a letter to the deputation, which has not mended the matter, but made it greatly the worse. He peremptorily declines to interfere with Governor Johnson in any way whatever, and ventures upon three very extra ordinary assertions—first, that " the movement set on foot by Governor Johnson does not, as the depu tation seems to assume, emanate from the National Executive ;" secondly, that the plan does not threaten violence or coercion against any one ; and, thirdly, that Governor Johnson, like any other loyal citizen of Tennessee, has the right to favour any political plan he chooses. The answer to the first assertion is that Governor Johnson is a military com mander, appointed by Mr Lincoln ; that in propos ing the oath complained of he acts wholly in his military capacity, and that consequently Mr Lincoln, his superior officer, having the power to remove him, becomes responsible for the official conduct of his subordinate. The answer to the second is that, although the plan of Governor Johnson may not threaten physical violence or coercion, it undoubtedly menaces moral violence and coercion against every member of the Democratic party in Tennessee, and every opponent of the war and the policy of the present Administration in that State, Rho will not perjure himself as a preliminary to recording his vote iu favour of Gen. MtClellan. And when Mr Lincoln tells the deput a tion, as he proceeds to do, that it they object to the plan they can leave it alone, and thus find their perfect security, he adds insult to injury. Of course nothing would please him and Mr Johnson better than that all the supporters and friends of Gen. Wei.ellan in Tennessee should ab sent themselves from the polls, and find perfect security in refraining alike from swearing and from voting. The third statement, that Mr Johnson has as much right as any other citizen to favour any political plan he chooses, is quite true; but it did not suit the purpose of Mr Lincoln to remember that it was not of Andrew Johnson the private citizen — neither better, nor greater, nor more privileged than any other person in America—that complaint was made, but of Andrew Johnson the Military Go vernor and Dictator of Tennessee, who. by his illegally imposed oath, endeavoured to deprive other citizens as good as himself o f the ri g ht ac corded to them by the Constitution. Nor is the corcluding paragraph of this docum ent the least curious or amazing part of it. I decline to interfere in any ``Except," says Mr Lincoln, " it be to give protection agai nst violence, way in any Presiden tial election." Judged by his previous arguments and statements, this declaration of neutrality simply means that he will allow his friends and officers in Tennessee, or anywhere else, to do as they please in his interest, provided they do not resort to phy sical violence; but ns the denial of a man's right is very apt to provoke physical resista nce, both law and equity will hold Mr Lincoln r es p onsible for any evil consequences that may result in any por tion of the country from the attempt of such men as Mr. Johnson to filch an illegal victory, and de prive the American people, or any portion of them. of their right to elect their Chief Magistrate. Mary:and, in this respect, threatens to b 3 as Kentucky or Tennessee. I n that State test oath, called an "ironc lad," has beteant e imposedalso troublesome a as by the Military Governor, General Wallace, and in the recent election for State officers, taken simultaneously with the vote on the p ro p osed ne w Constitution, which p r ohibits slavery , n o one was allowed to cast his ballot who would not swear that he was "loyal" to the present A dministration, and in favour o f all its war measur es, of whatsoever ki n d or degree. Mr. Reverdy Johnson, a n eminent lawyer of B altimor e , and represe ntative of Mary land in the Senate partyof the United States , ad v ised the Democraticto take the oath, on the same grounds that he would advise a man overpowered by a highwayman to yield his money rather than his life, and that an oath so taken was no more binding upon the conscience of the individual than the conveyance of the traveller's money to the hands of the robber was a legitimate transfer which the law would sanction. Perhaps some . portion of the voters of Maryland acted upon Mr. Johnson's advice, for the new Constitution abolishing slavery was rejected by a majority of nearly 2,000 upon the popular votes ; but that the g reat mass of the Marylanders weret of k e th s o virtually disfranchised by theirth is evident from the fact that out of 60,000 voters only about refusal t o 15,000, or one in four, took the t rou bl e or thought it prudent to present themselves at the polls. Nevertheless, though there was a popular majority against it, the Free State Constitution is declared to have been carried. The votes of soldiers serving in the Maryland regiments under Grant and other Generals were recorded in its favour, in suffi cient numbers, it is officially stated, to turn the scale, and convert the majority of the people into a mino rity of the whole. The Governor of Maryland, Mr. Bradford, disputes the legality of the military vote, and such a disposition has been manifested through out the State to support him in this view that the question will be litigated through all the Courts of Nlaryland, until ultimately it will find its way to the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington, there to receive authoritative settlement at the hands of the only tribunal competent to deal with it, Under such circumstances the abolition of slavery in Maryland by the supposed vote of the people loses much of the lustre that would surround it if the abolition were legally and freely decided by the people, and the Republican party sings its songs of triumph prematurely. Mr Lincoln, however, is well pleased. He told a company of serenaders, who played 1 6 The Star-spangled Banner" and other popular and patriotic airs under his windows at the White House in honour of the event, that he heartily congratulatwhoele world, d not alone on Maryland anond th of e nation, but the slavery in the State by the vote of the people, and expressed his regret that the act had not been ac. complished two years sooner. It is difficult to avoid the suspicion that the result of the test oath in disenfranchising three-fourths of the aforesaid people was the real cause of Mr Lincoln's great and unbounded satisfaction. If, on the 8.11 of November, the 45,000 citizens who absented them• selves from the polls became they would not per. jure themselves by taking an oath which no one has a tight to extort from them were to swear under mental reservation as Mr Reverdy Johnson advises, and cast their votes for General M•Clellan immediately afterwards, it is highly probable that Mr Lincoln would be as much disgusted with Maryland as he is now pleased. At all events, if the election be in Mr Lincoln's fevour, and so clos3 that he could not have won it without the votes of Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other States in a similarly unhappy predicament, this question of test of oaths will assume large and ominous pro portions. There is more danger in it than the Administration seems to imagine, or Mr Lincoln would not discuss it with such flippant disingenu ousness as he exhibited in his reply to the Tennes seans. The Americans will endure almost any amount of wrong and hardship if it be committed with the sanction of the law, or for the sake of their darling object, the preservation of the Union; but they are not tolerant of wrong when it is cleerly against the law, and committed, not for the sake of Union, but for the sake of a man who, but for the accident of their votes, wou'd be no better or more privileged than any other citizen.

No attempt, whatever was made to conceal the body ; doubtless because the assassin considered it useless, as he thought he had prevented identification when he burial the head. _ . The face of the deceased was that of a good-:ooltipg German, apparently of acme 30 or 40 years of age. The coutplt xion was dark, and the features were well formed and regular. ADDITIONAL AND LATEST PAATIr2ULARS. Last eve :in;;, after the examination of the prisoner Kohl at the Strafford Police-court, he was conveyed in a cab by Inspector N ghtin ghle to Lion' awl during his remand. Subsequently Mr Superintendent and Inspector Nightingale proceeded to the graving Dock public-house at Plaistow, whore the body of the murdered man was lying. A great crowd surrounded the house, and the vague rumours 'a hich had been previously circulated brought a multiplicity of visitors to the district. Su:.erintendent Howie, of Atbout-square, Stepney, who had charge of the c 9 se, at once took possession of the head of the deceased man, and conveyed it to the abovenamed tavern and placed it in the stable yard where the trunk or body was lying. At that time there were hundreds of persons waiting to catch a glimpse of the body, but the police very properly refused admission to the parties applying, and with difficulty a free passage was obtained for the medical gentle men engaged in the case. About seven o clock, Mr. Morris, the divisional medical officer of the district, arrived, and made a minute examina tion of the body, which was then lying in an outhouse by the side cf the tavern ; but just at the moment the examina tion was being made a messenger stated to the landlord that the body must be removed to the Bell snd Anchor Tavern for an inquest. The inquest will accordingly bo held at the Bell and Anchor Tavern, near the railway station. A great crowd were last night still waiting about the spot where the de ceased man was found. It is a singular fact that when the reporter saw the body the head of the deceased,which had been found in the marsh, was lying between the feet of the murdered man. The left eye was closed, and the right eye was blackened. The upper portion of the forehead was battered in, and the flesh over the left eye was torn away. The right eye was entirely gone, and the features still bore a natural composure. There were five witnesses examined, who saw the head and clothes of the deceased under the authority of Superinten dent Howie, and they were requested to be in attendance on the resumption of the inquiry before the magistrates at Ilford on Saturday next. It seems from what can be learned that the deceased had been In the habit of frequenting the spot where he was found. _ The inquest will be opened this evening at 6 o'clock, by Mr C. C. Lewis, the coroner for Essex, and from the facts which have reached the notice of Mr Superintendent Howie, some important evidence will transpire. The police, last night at 10 o'clock, were still prosecuting their inquiries to assist the coroner. -~.- Extraordinary Conduct of a Welsh] Magistrate. The Carnarven and Denbigh Herald describes an extraordinary scene which occurred at a meeting on municipal matters recently held at Denbigh. A Mr Lloyd was speaking, when Mr George Griffith, a county magistrate, interrupted him : The Chairman—l must bring you to order, Mr Griffith. Mr Lloyd is addressing the meeting. (Cheers,) Mr Griffith—Nothing of the sort, sir 1 There is no meet ing. (Laugh' er, cheers, and confusion, loud cries resound ing on all sides of " Turn him out, turn him out I" But the valiant old gentleman, nothing daunted, began to pull off his coat, as if trying to tear the fastenings asunder, and after this he made a spring to jump upon the desk. A score of hands pulled him back, and a jostle took place, in the course of which he nearly hit the chairman, and after him Mr Lloyd, of Brook House, finishing up by bawling out— "D— you all I" (Tremendous cheering.) And then to the cries of " Turn him out, turn him out I Chair, chair," &c. from a hundred throats, he cried, " You are all a d— set of.blackguards I Mr Gold Edwards is not your chair man." (Chair, chair,) " I tell you he is not your chain. man." (Great confusion.) The Chairman—l must have order. You must allow Mr Lloyd to address the meeting. (Cheers.) Mr Griffith—No , by —, he shall not address the meet ing. There is no meeting, It's all ad— humbug 1 It's a scandalous farce—a trick. (Great shouting.) It shall last no longer—(renewed shouting)—but d— my blood if ever I met such a set of blackguards in all my life be fore. (Tremendous cheering and shouting.) There is no chair, I say 1 It is a private meeting. You (to the chair man) may sit there as long as you like, but it is no meet. ing. (Cries for "Mr Gold Edwards," and a voice, " Why did not you attend the niveting in proper time?") Mr Griffith—Well, d— it all! We will go out elsewhere, and have a meeting of our own. (Great cheering.) The Chairman—l call upon Mr Lloyd to go on with his address to the meeting. (Cheers.) Mr Griffith—Yon shan't remain in the chair—l'm d— if you shall. (Great uproar.) The Chairman—But I will, sir, and Mr Lloyd shall ad dress the meeting. (Loud cheers.) Mr Griffin—D—, must I tell you again that there is no meeting. It's a private meeting, (Laughter and uproar.) The Chairman—l certainly hope that Mr Griffith will fine himself for swearing. (Applause.) Mr Griffith actually gnashing his teeth, and the most amusing thing of the evening occurred now. Little Dr. Frank Ed wards said to him, "For God's sake let me advise you to calm yourself. You'll go in a fit, or break a blood vessel." Mr Griffith—What the d-1 is that to you, sir. (Great laughter.) The Chairman—This is the most disgusting language I ever heard. It is a disgrace to humanity. (Loud cheers.) Mr Griffith—Sir, your humanity is not worth a d—, (Great laughter and uproar.) The Chairman—Sir, you are a disgrace to her Majesty's commission. (Cheers.) Mr Griffith—Sir, I do not care a d— for her Majesty, or you. (Immense confusion.) The Chairman called for Sergeant David Davies, the po liceman, but there was no response ; and then Mr Griffith, after a little silence, said—Let me have just a word or two. Let me see Dew, the hallkeeper. I will leave you all to yourselves. Dew I Dew I Dew 1 D— it, is Dew the hallkeeper, here ? (No reply, but a perfect storm of laughter.) The Chairman—l have again to call upon Mr Lloyd to go on. (Cheers.) Mr Griffith—And I have again to say he shall not. (Laughter and cheers.) Dr Frank Edwards said that somebody had told him this was a public meeting. Mr Burdon, the tanner, asked if it was not, at all events, a ratepayers' meeting ? Mr Griffith bawled out—No, it was merely a supporters' meeting. (Chair, chair, was being called all along, and at this juncture he pulled off his coat and neckcloth.) The Chairman—Now, Mr Lloyd, will you go on ? Mr Griffith—No, he shall not, until this room is given up to us as a private room, nobody shall speak. (Tremen dous shouting ensued for Mr Lloyd ; and somebody, amid great laughter, added, " I was invited to a publio meet ing.") Th e Chairman—This, I maintain , is a public meeting; and I must have the chair supported. (Cheers.) Then Mr Griffith again shouted that it was not a public meeting, and he proposed that Mr Gold Edwards be told to quit the chair. (No, no.) Here Mr Griffith attempted to unseat the chairman, but was baulked by Mr Lloyd; and in reply to a sharp rebuke from the chairman, Griffith bawled out—l have seen a better -man than you, sir, pitched out. (Great uproar.) After a good deal more of the same sort of thing, Mr Griffith caught sight of the reporters. He roared—BY --- s here are the fellows taking notes. Turn them out. Turn then out. Where are the police? Turn them out. D— their eyes, they always report lies. (Great laughter.) Where are the police ? (Cries of Report every word, &c.) No police coming, and the reporters quietly going on with their notes. Mr Griffith leaned over as far as ha could without losing his balance, and addressing the reporters he poured out a volley of oaths and epithets which could hardly be indicated even by single letters and blanks. It appeared at one time as if he would get down and himself try to turn out the reporters, but the audience formed a cordon around, and he did not attempt this, Just now some one strove to lift Mr Griffith bodily off his legs and remove him, but he held on by the front of the bench, and in a horizontal posi tion defied all iff3rt to remove him. Hereupon another jostling match took place on the bench, and presently a policeman really did come upon the scene and collared Mr Griffith, but from behind. Upon which Mr Griffith, jun., got hold of the policeman's throat, mil, pinning him up against somebody between the officer and the wall, defied him to touch his father, Cheers were ringing all the while, and the throttled policeman made a desporate effort to do something, Dr Pierce got up and cried to him, " Dont I Don't attempt to do anything to the old man, lie is not responsible for his acts." After this frightful row had continued for some time, Mr Griffith, jun. and other friends succeeded in dragging Mr Griffith from the platform, and ultimately out of the room—Mr Griffith swearing he would have a meeting below, and asking his party to follow him. His party, however, refused to do this, but he obtained an audience of the boys of the town, and harangued them from the foot of the stair, eliciting immense applause, which was frequently heard in the hall above.

The names of the accused, as stated in the charge sheet, were Ferdinand Edward Karl Kehl, of 4, Hay-street, Plais tow, sugarbaker, a native of Holland, and Hannah his wife, an English woman, to whom the male prisoner had only been married about five weeks. The prisoner Kohl is a dull heavy-looking man, about 27 years of age. He did not seem in the dock to pay much attention to the proceedings. His wife, on the other hand, a girl of 18, showed that she acutely felt the position in which she was placed. She is the daugh ter of poor but respectable parents at Plaistow. Superin tendent Howie and Inspector Nightingale, of the K divi sion, and Sergeant Clarke, of the detective department of metropolitan police, attended to conduct the case. The court was densely crowded. Upon the prisoners being placed at the bar the Chairman inquired whether any legal adviser appeared on their behalf, and was told that no one did. The following evidence was then adduced : Richard Harvey, of Crispin-street, Poplar, a shipwright's apprentice, said—On Tuesday afternoon, about half-past 1, I was going along the river bank near Plaistow-marshes, close to Silvertown, accompanied by Josiah Gaster and some other persons. One of the men belonging to the party sent me among some reeds to drive up the birds for him to shoot at, he having a gun. As I was walking through the reeds I noticed the dead body of a man. I was about five yards from the corpse when I first saw it. Iran out of the reeds and told my companions. The body, which was lying on its back, had no head. The right hand was lying on the breast, and the left arm was lying by its side. It was about 50 yards from the river wall or bank, There is a bleed reed shore at this point, and the reeds growing there are about seven feet high. Gaster, upon hearing what I said, went for a constable. The body was dressed only in a pair of black cloth trousers and Wellington boots. There was a small piece of a white shirt on the left arm of the body, no other portions of the shirt remaining. The male prisoner, in reply to the Chairman, said he had no questions to ask this witness. Josiah Gaster, 7, Bromley-street, Poplar, confirmed the account given by the previous witness of the discovery of the body. He said the rats had eaten the flesh off the hands. The body was lying on its back, the right hand was lying across the breast, and the left hand and arm were lying by the side of the body. 1 immediately went in search of a police-constable, and found one. I brought him to the spot. I found that the deceased had upon him a pair of black trousers opening in front, and a pair of Wellington boots outside his trousers. There was also a part of a white shirt on the left arm. I met a police-officat and told him what I had seen, and I accompanied him to the spot. We then searched the pockets, and found a farthing in the right hand pocket of the trousers and wrapped in a piece of paper. Nothing else was found on the body of the deceased, We searched for the head among the reeds, but could no find it. The head was cut off across the neck. The male prisoner said he had no question to ask of the witness, and the female prisoner said nothing. She seemed quite overwhelmed with grief, clutched the rails of the dock and sobbed convulsively. Mr Edward John Morris said—l am a surgeon, and re side at Plaistow. I was called to see the body of the deceased at about half-past 11 o'clock last night. I went to the Gra ving Dock Hotel in Silvertown. The body was without a head, and the muscular portion of the neck right down to the bone had been eaten away by rats, which swarm among the reeds. My opinion is that a knife and a chopper had been used in severing the head from the body. There were several marks where chops had been made in the vertebra, One blow had partially divided one of the cervicals, and an' other had completely done so. The flesh of the left hand had all been eaten away, and, that of the right was partially eaten off, The left shoulder had also been attacked by the rats, as was shown by the muscular fibr a. The same was the case with the right arm. Taking into consideration the coldness of the weather and the thy place where the body was found it is quite possible the deceased might have been dead four or five days. I examined the chest and abdomen, and could not find any marks of violence. I saw the clothes described by the witnesses. The boots were over the ankles of the trousers, as if he had been walking in the mud. It was the body of a well-fed muscular man. I have not made a post mortem examination. Henrich Zutch—l am a shoemaker, and live at No 2, Hoy-street. Last evening, about 8 o'clock, I went to the Graving Dock Hotel and identified the body from the boots. Although I bad not heard the name of the deceased, I had known him for several weeks. He had shown me his boots and asked if I could do anything in the way of repairing them. The left sole was worn. He lodged at No 4, Hoy street, in the same house as the prisoner Kohl. Eliz tbath Warren, wife of James Warren, labourer, of 3, Nelson-place, Plaistow, said—The male prisoner used to lodge at my house, and then he went to Germany. and when he returned ho married the young woman at the bar. When he came back from Germany he brought to my house a young gentleman, whom we used to call John. This young man accompanied him from abroad to my house to lodge. The person whom I believe to have been the de ceased lodged at my house for 13 days. He left about a month ago. He was 21 or 22 years of age, and was a very handsome young man. I have seen nothing of him since he left my house. He could not speak good English. I never saw him extravagant. When the deceased was brought to my house the prisoner said he had £2OO a year, and was bound to New Yolk. When he first came to my house the young man gave me six sovereigns to take care of for him. as he was going out. He also gave me a silver watch, gold Albert chain, and ring. I returned them all to him, in cluding the money, a few days after he had intrusted them with me. The ring was a large plain gold ring, with a blank gold shield, without any stone or figure on it. He also had a gold handkerchief pin, with a piece of red coral in it, which he left at my house and came for the day afterwards. I never noticed his linen was marked. He had one coloured shirt. He had several other shirts and collars. The collars hal a mark on them. When ho left my house I saw that he had four sovereigns and some silver in his hand, and when he came to settle with me he said if he changed another sovereign he would nbt have enough money to go to New York. I had received 25s from him, and I charged him £2. The male pri soner came with the young man when he left. He wa s also accompanied by two lads and a German they calle d "Butcher." The prisoner wished him to retain the four sovereigns, and both he and the young man objected to what I had charged. I claimed 15s more than they had paid me, and detained the young man's portmanteau , a box, two pairs of boots (one pair with laced sides), and two hatboxes, containing a beaver hat and a felt, narrow brimmed, skull-crowned hat, Ho also had a large overcoat and a travelling wrappet, red on one side and black on the other. He had two pairs of black trousers and a pair of gray ones in tTh he G b erm an, whom oxes. I gave the things up on the following day. e he called Butcher, paid me the 15s, and I delivered the goods. I have seen this man Butcher about the marsh. It was about a month ago that he loft, and on a Tuesday. Ile offered me 7s 61, which I refused. He said the ship in which he was to proceed to New York was to sail on the following Tuesday or Friday—l could not say which. The prisoner Kohl said he had no question to ask the witness. Mr Daniel Howie, superintendent of the K division of the Metropolitan Police, said—On Tuesday evening, the Bth inst., about 7 o'clock, I went to the house of Ferdinand Edward Karl Kohl, the prisoner, at 4, Hoy-street, Plaistow marsh. I there saw the prisoner and his wife, the female prisoner, and Joseph Williams, her brother. I inquired of them if a young Oerman, was missing from the house. The male prisoner said a young man whom they called John, and whose acquaintance he (the prisoner) had made during a recent passage from Hamburg to London, was missing. He told me the missing young man was a lodger with him and that he hid previously lodged at the house of Mrs Warren, the last witness, which lodgings he did not like. He said when ho came away from Mrs Warren's to lodge with him he had no money, and had pewned his clothes. lie said that on Thursday last, the 3d inst., he left home with him in the morning, and went to the London Docks for the purpose of looking for a ship, but there was no ship there of the kind they wanted. He then said that after leaving the London Docks they (pr:soner and the young man) went into the upper part of the Commercial-road about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Prisoner proceeded into a t.rigar bakery there, leaving the young German in the street. On returning to the street he missed him and made a search after him, but could not find him, and had not seen him since. He afterwards said he had been to Silvertowu and seen the body found in the reeds, and was not sure it was that of " John," as it had no head. The trousers, he said, were like his. I then sent the prisoners in a cab, accompanied by Mr Inspector Nightingale, to meet me at the Plaistow station. Henry Lee, a youth about 18. was the next witness. He said—l live a: No. 2, Hoy-street, Plaistow-marsh, and am a labourer. Last Thursday morning, the 31 inst., about 10 o'clock, I was at work at Plaistow, and I saw the male pri soner and the young man John, whom I believe to be the deceased, walking along the river wall, near the sugar:. house, towards Silvertown. That was in the direction from London. I made a remark to the man who was working with me that these were the two men whom I had seen at Zatch's, where I lodged. I have not seen the young man since. He had on a dark dress and was of fair complexion. I knew him by sight. I have frequently spoken to the pri soner at the bar. It would be about four minutes' walk from the spot where I saw the deceased and, the male prisoner to the reeds where the body was found. I saw the prisoner in the afternoon of the same day, and he toll me that the young man was missing. I replied to him, " I saw you and the young man this morning about 10 o'clock walking by the river bank." The prisoner said nothing in reply. He after wards told me he had gone to London in the morning to a sugar-house—that he left the young man outside—that when he come out the young man was gone, and i that when he returned home he found his clothes also gone. Sergeant Brigley, 65, K division, was then called. He said—At about a quarter to two yesterday afternoon I re ceived information of this affair, I went to the river bank opposite the graving-dock on the North Woolwich-road, and saw the body. There was a mark or indentation in the soft earth as if where the back of the head had been, and there was a small portion of the brain on the ground near the mark where the head had been, and close to where the neck must have lain. The mark I saw on the earth would be where the head had rested before it was cut off. I examined the body, and searched the pockets. In the left hand trouser pocket I found a farthing wrapped in a piece of paper. In the other pocket there was a small piece of paper, upon which there were some German words. There was a small piece of white shirt lying under the body, by the left arm. On the shirt was marked "O. 8., 6." I had the body removed to the Graving Dock Tavern, and the prisoners were arrested on the charge of being concerned in the murder of the man. The male prisoner was cautioned in the usual manner. He said, " I know well where I was on that —." The Chairman—Did he not say the hour or etly ? The Witness—He did not. The prisoner's clothes were then removed, and a fresh suit given to him. The Chairman (to the prisoner)—Will you ask this wit ness any questions ? The male Prisoner—No (shaking his head). The Chairman inquired of the police whether the head of the dead man had been found. Mr Superintendent Howie said that the head had been found at 8 o'clock that morning about 30 yards from where the body was found. They had not had time to have the head examined, but the medical men would make the usual post mortem examination in due course. It was stated that the head was buried a few inches under the ground, and discovered by Inspector Good, of the Thames Police, and that there were several rat holes in the immediate vicinity. Sergeant Clarke, of the detective department of polio was then called as a witness by the Bench, but stated that his evidence was incomplete, as he had not had sufficient time to investigate the matter, and that he hoped his testi mony would be postponed. After some brief conversation, Mr Superintendent Howie suggested that, as there was no evidence to criminate the female prisoner, she should be discharged. The Chairman concurred, and said she would be at once discharged, but with regard to the male prisoner, he would be remanded to Ilford Gaol for further examination. The prisoner, Karl KOhl, in broken English, was under stood to say, " What for ? Can't it be settled now ?" The Chairman—You, Kohl, are charged on suspicion of having caused the death of the deceased man John Fuhrhop, and we remand you for further inquiry upon that charge. The female prisoner was carried away in a swoon by her brother, who fondly kissed her, her mother being also pre sent. The male prisoner was then handcuffed and taken to Ilford Gaol in a cab, in charge of Inspector Nightingale and constable 312 K. A large crowd was in the vicinity of the court, and it was with some difficulty that the prisoner could be conducted to the cab. DISCOVERY OF THE HEAD AND THE SCENE OF TILE MURDER. The circumstances of horror surrounding the perpetration of the murder and the decapitation of the unfortunate Ger man (Fuhrhop), have created such extraordinary excitement in the neighbourhood of Silvertown, that a number of per sons, estimated at 4,00), yesterday went to view the body. They were in most instances permitted to see the remains, not only to endeavour to corroborate the identification by means of the clothes (for the head was found only yesterday), but also to give an opportunity of ascertaining whether any person had seen him walking with his murderer towards the river bank through the marsh on the day of the murder. 1 Up to a late hour last evening, however, no one had been found who could add anything material to the testimony of the boy Lee against the accused, Kohl. A discovery of some importance was made yesterday afternoon by some residents in the neighbourhood, and when the police authorities are made acquainted with it, it will no doubt lead to the finding of the weapon with which the crime was perpetrated. It was at first supposed that the murder was effected on the spot where the headless body was found, but a careful examination of the ground insti tuted towards evening yesterday has disproved this suppo sition. The North Woolwich-road, which runs past the Victoria Graving Dock, is parallel to the river as it approaches Silver town. The quarter of a mile of marsh land which lies be tween the road and the Thames, is for the greater part covered with reeds 7ft. and a half high. A narrow path way, not more than 18 inches in width,leads from the direc tion of the road through the rushes towards the river. Any person walking along this track would find on his left hand, I about hallway through, a still narrower path going towards another part of the river bank, but to get on to it he would find it necessary to cross a ditch 7ft. wide and three cr four feet deep, the bottom being covered with thick mud rather than water. This was the exact spot where the murder was committed, the body decapitated, and whence mangled re mains were conveyed to the place where the headless trunk was a fterwards found, and which is about 15 or 20 yards further up the second path. In the course of the search that was being made this little path, almost entirely obscured by the overhanging of the tall reeds, was struck upon, and upon the persons coming to the ditch which has been mentioned, they were horrified at seeing at the bottom of it a pool of blood 4ft. long by lft. broad. The marks made by the victim's boots as he stood in the ditch, evidently with his back to his murderer, and also the marks of the feet of the murderer when he was lift ing up out of it the lifeless body of his victim,wero distinctly visible. A trace of blood was found among the middle of the rushes from this spot to the place where the body was carried or dragged, About two-thirds of the distance along the path was seen a circular patch of blood, such as would have been caused if the dissevered held had been laid down there for a moment by its still bleeding on the surface. The consideration of these facts, and of others to be men tioned presently, showed at once how the diabolical crime had been effected. The murderer and his victim must have left the road and struck into the first pathway to go towards the river. One must have walked behind the other, for two could not have found room to walk abreast. Upon coming to the ditch which had to be crossed before getting into the second path, the murdered man without doubt descended into it first. Before he could have got cne step aeross he evidently received a tremendons blow on the left temple and over the eye (the marks of this blow are clearly present on the head), and ho was thus thrown backwards against the slopping bank in a such a manner that the heel s of his boots were driven into the yielding clay at the ditch bottom. No marks of a struggle are to be found: The murderer, having stunned his unsuspecting victim by a blow which broke in the skull, obviously continued on the vantage ground of the bank, and with a knife—a large bladed one, as the gashes show—severed the heed from the body. From the large quantity of blood found in the shal low pool in the bottom of the ditch and the mere trace of it along the path, it was evident that the body must have been iu the ditch a Baffle ent time to allow all the blood to drain from it. No doubt some considerable time was occupied in hacking the vertebra of the neck with a knife not particu larly sharp. The deep indentation made by OA; boots of the murderer when he stood in the centre of the. ditch to lift out the body of the deceased in order to hide it in the rushes was quite plain, Having got it upon the further bank, it partly dragged, partly lifted through the 'narrow path for MUDIE'S SELECT LIBRARY.
